Answer:
D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself
Explanation:
On May 10, 1773, the British Parliament passed the <u>Tea Act</u>. This act allowed British companies to ship tea to the colonies without duties, but the colonists still had to pay a tax on tea.
They were outraged at this display of "taxation without representation", so they tried to boycott the tea and force the ships to return to Britain. This didn't work, so they moved onto their next plan: <u>The Boston Tea Party.</u> On December 10, 1773, a group known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves and boarded the ship. They threw thousands of pounds of British tea into the Boston Harbor.
The British found out and they were angry and shocked. They realized the colonies were out of control, so they passed the <u>Coercive/Intolerable Acts.</u> These:
- Closed the Boston Harbor
- Placed the colony under direct British control
- Prevented trials of British officials from occurring in the colonies
- Required British soldiers to be quartered at the colonists' expense
The correct answer is D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself. The colony had some power, but it was extremely limited.
I did some quick research, and your answer would be the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Hope this helps!<span>

Answer: (7) It appears that tremendous numbers of consumers are influenced by advertising, despite their claims to the contrary.
Explanation:
The main idea of this passage is that advertising works despite people's claims to the contrary.
This is the main idea because every other sentence centres around this one with the first sentence attempting to explain how it works.
The second sentence then attempts to disprove it while the third, fourth, fifth and the sixth show show evidence of its truthfulness.
